Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for this spot. It’s a bit of a slow burn, so strap in.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a long stretch of nothing. From now through to the 18th of July, it’s basically a write-off. Tiny waves, messy winds, and the energy just isn't there. You’ll be staring at a flat lake for over a week, no point sugar-coating it. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Saturday the 19th of July. Karramarro is a point break, suited to advanced surfers, and it’s pretty inconsistent, so you need to pick your moments. But that morning, we’ve got a 5ft swell from the NW, with a solid 9-second period. The combined energy is healthy at 414 (moderate wave energy), and we’re looking at a clean, cross-off wind. That’s the standout window. The swell direction is a good match for what this break likes, and the offshore wind will keep it clean. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-shore wind, so the early session is the one.
The following week sees a bit of swell, but the conditions are ordinary. On Monday the 20th, the morning is clean but the swell drops to 4ft, and the energy is down to 208 (moderate). It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about. After that, it’s back to poor conditions with cross-shore and cross-on winds, even with some waist-to-chest high swell. The period stays around 8-9 seconds, so it’s not the most powerful stuff.
The 22nd of July morning looks glassy with a 3ft NW swell, but the energy is weak (109), and the break is inconsistent, so it’s a gamble. The 24th of July has a bit more size (3ft) and a longer period (10 seconds) from the NW, but it’s onshore wind, so it’ll be messy.
Bottom line: the only proper window to get excited about is the morning of Saturday the 19th. Set your alarm for that one. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.

Information about the Karramarro Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Karramarro provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Karramarro can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Karramarro surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Karramarro) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Karramarro may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
